hello everybody fom Sofia, we've been two days now and what a two days it has been
we arrived yesterday morning off a night train from burcharesti total shattered. we had a couchette all to ourselves which was wonderful we got a free bottle of water and some travel goodies from the train people incl a mini toothbrush and paste and other small cute stuff. we didn' sleep at all what so ever but had good chats and watched the world fly by. i {siney } LOVED the train one of the highligts for me
we had no hostel booked and it was raining :O when we arrived not exactly a good start we got in at 6 am so we had to wait 2 hrs before we called any hostels so we sat in the central bus station which is beside the train station then we start calling around with no luck so we decided to start walking
i {siney} of course slipped th my big back pack on me wrecked me knee and neck but not quite romania '05 bad though.
we stumbled upon a tiny place that only had the double luxury room available for more money than it is worth. but it was a dry room with a bed! and... it had a "TOILET SHOWER" ie the two were one, the room was a shower with a sink and a toilet
So we spent the morning there recovering and then recharged we set off to explore sofia!
we went and saw alexsander nevski church {see picture above} had costa coffee saw locals fill bottles with mineral water which was hot and walked alot, we decided of course to go the completely wrong direction more than once so then had to double back but we made it to our desired destinations...
we found an antique jewelery market that also sold war and communism memorbilia we spent alot of time there and a little bit of money
btw bugaraian LOVE pizza we've had it for majorty of our meals they have it evrywhere and for everything breakfast, lunch and dinner they also like to put ketchup on top , very nice!
we then spent ages looking for a restaurant with live music called o'shipka which ws close to whe we were but we till spent ages looking for it
no music but very good food
then we went back to bed
then today we ventured out to plovdiv a town bout two hrs from sofia with medieval and older buildings...well ruins
the highlight was the ancient amphitheatre which was close to 2000 yrs old and is still used
there was more markets and yes more buying suuzy got a spectaculr silver ring
we also had some baklava which suzy loved and was very excited about
then we headed back to sofia for one more night
in the bus station while on the internet blogging a guy approached us asking are we heading to the coast we said no he explained he was looking for passengers he is driving there we felt that was the end of the conversations but then he asked us for drink :s more than a little odd but we sid we had ppeople waiting being the savy travellors that we are and he left
